We wanted to visit the zoo of Munich.. we have not been there since ages.

We decided to go last thursday, because the weather forecast said it was the last sunny day befor it will start to rain again.

We were not the only ones who wanted to enjoy the last sunny summerday in the zoo, there were a long long queue when we arrived, but we were lucky, they opend two other ticket offices when so we did not have to wait tooooo long to get in.

We had blue sky.

Well we did not see striped pigs but deers, tigers, zebras and many other exotic animals...

Last week we have been in the Netherlands for a weekend. It was a quiet short trip for 2 days. But we were lucky, it was a sunny weekend and it was the weekend of Fleamarkets in Delft and Den Haag, the cities we visited. We love fleamarkets since we are little girls. Compained our parents selling at fleamarkets and started to open a booth in front of the house when we were little kids. We loved selling and buying and started to collect unique and vintage stuff.

We collected old tins, old leather suitcases, ceramic and so on. May be the colorful patterns of the Inselbüchlein covers made us loving this kind of classic pattern we are using for our nauli-paper products now.

Even on the way to the Escher Museum in Den Haag, we jumped out of the Tram to walk around a small Fleamarket. But this time we did not shop at all, even there were many beautiful things wanted to be bought. But we feel like we have to sell some of our collections first to make space for new old things.

It's Friday again. Time to blog our weekly favourite. We came accross with this, when we where looking around in BigCartels database. And were so surprised! pieni is a little vintage shop for kids cloth. Located in France they ship worldwide.
They have an outstanding collection of vintage cloth for young children. No wonder some of them you'll find at littlenauli.tumblr.com now... we love the light look and the collection of fine designs.

They also sell some very special handmade toys.

So, if you've a little boy or girl who likes cool cloths, have a look at pieni !

What a nice morning suprise! Featurator had sent two emails tonight. One of the new designs of Nauli Accordion Books had been featured on the Etsy frontpage. This geometric treasury was made by print artist Antoksfairytales. And honestly, when we know about it, we already had a dream... Dreams coming true are the best! Thank you Antoksfairytales!

Do you know Sumikoshop? It's jewelry shop from Italy. Designer Evelyn creates totally romantic, but affordable jewelry for every woman who wants to become a princess in her daily life. She also runs a lovely blog, which is on our daily reads for long. And what do you see on this screenshot? Yes, Nauli has a new banner and the first place you see it is at Sumiko-Shop Lovely Finds. The secret behind is, that we won the monthly Treasury Challenge, so we get a free monthly advertising as Top Sponsor!

Since I discovered andiespecialtysweets sugar leaves last week, and only some days later Owen Gildersleeve paper cut leaves which I blogged last Friday, I'm faszinated of menmade leaves, and they're so beautiful, that I even don't mind, that summer was so short this year.

Must have to do something with rain for weeks, all the nature around growing like crazy, which is surely one of the good parts of the rain. But this morning I felt a desire for clean shapes and found some items of the Europeanstreetteam on Etsy.
To find more Monday Moodboards head over to fleurfatale.

Because we can't do anything against it: Autumn is coming with it colourful leaves. This summer was a short one in Southern Germany. Short and hot, some weeks ago fall started to show its power with heavy rain falls for weeks. We took the rain and tried to work as much as possible. Everyday we feel lucky that we work with colorful materials.

Fall is full of reds and browns... Colorful, yes, but we would love to have some turquoise and violet, too...

Well, our hair is straight, so straight like nothing else, and just like every girl in this world we had the dream of curly hair in our life. We still remember, when we tried to help each other with paper papilottes ... but our hair never hold the curlies for more than 3 hours...

Unbelievable... it's raining since three weeks now. In between exactly three sunny days... for some hours. The rivers nearby have a high tide now. Not only Pakistan, India and China are flooded, peoples here are standing ramrod-stiff...
Can you imagine, that we had a some weeks of heat like this?

Sun came out yesterday again. Time to let the kids to see the sun... We just listed two new boy dolls in our shops on Etsy and Dawanda. We still struggle with the colors of the photography. It's like the camera doesn't like the skin tone of this Waldorf inspired dolls ...
